It has several locations in the city, and probably needs many hands on volunteers. I had some indirect contact with it when I was interning in the Brooklyn DA's office a couple summers ago.Irina Tsukermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10964771563778702009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-55242234220855756012007-02-21T21:30:00.000-05:002007-02-21T21:30:00.000-05:00How about Bnei Akiva?How about Bnei Akiva?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-75422703313253622152007-02-20T22:36:00.000-05:002007-02-20T22:36:00.000-05:00I know that the North American Conference on Ethio...I know that the North American Conference on Ethiopian Jewry can always use volunteers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-88027985272969187022007-02-20T21:26:00.000-05:002007-02-20T21:26:00.000-05:00The Jewish Board of Family and Children Services h...The Jewish Board of Family and Children Services has a large <A HREF="http://www.jbfcs.org/ucanhelp/Defuch.htm" REL="nofollow">volunteer corps</A> participating in a wide variety of projects. Click here for their volunteer page. Their main office is on W. 57th St, but they have satellites all across the city. The certification process can be a bit tedious, but working there you will have access to any and all social-work programming.<BR/><BR/>In terms of chavrusas, if you choose to go in that direction, a couple of convenient options are: one on one <A HREF="http://www.aishny.com/learning.htm" REL="nofollow">learning at Aish Hatorah</A> on the Upper West Side on Monday nights. Or for that matter at my shul on Wednesday nights. Also phone chavrusas with <A HREF="http://www.partnersintorah.org" REL="nofollow"/>. <BR/><BR/>I may be able to refer you to a particular Hebrew school but in that situation I'd need to know better your availability and experience.

I have never met anyone who did not come away from that experience both changed and pleasantly surprised at how much fun they had. Also, try Dorot in Manhattan. I worked with them on linking my 3rd grade students with elder programs in the area. They offer all kinds of opportunities to volunteer. Aish Hatorah has some great programming. I know secular Jews get involved and do not necessarily "convert" to Orthodoxy. Aish approaches Torah and outreach more from a place of logic. And by the way, don't be so quick to knock NCSY. Bottom line is they ignite a spark in kids who may never get it elsewhere. Socialization in the teen years is an integral part of a Public School teen's life. It has to be part of the NCSY package. I am a cynic and quite intelligent(if I may say so), but I have been moved by NCSY Shabatons in ways that my classes in yeshiva high school and seminary never did. Maybe that's because NY NCSY is more public school populated than out of NY chapters. There are many pathways to inspiration. Your words carry weight, at least with me and I'm more than twice your age. Good luck on your path.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-53174568140476966072007-02-20T13:24:00.000-05:002007-02-20T13:24:00.000-05:00Contact Childrens'Hospitals and ask to speak to ch...Contact Childrens'Hospitals and ask to speak to children's activity coordinator.
